Back to Basics

In the recent years, more and more people started using a certain vintage style of home decoration and all the items that were popular in the mid-20th century made a big comeback. From the classic Biedermeier living room furniture to formal dining rooms that featured huge tables and comfortable chairs – everything that’s old, yet preserved is more than popular at the moment. Therefore, try incorporating some of these items into your home as well.

Go online or, even better, visit your local flea market, and search for vintage sofas, armchairs and antique writing desks for your own home office. Vintage clocks, bookshelves, coat racks, cupboards, closets and beds are also something you might look into. Just a few of these items will make all the difference in your home, especially if you add some vintage DIY decorations as well.

Special Materials

When it comes to decorating, all the rooms in your home require equal attention, no matter how much time you spend there. And the best way to show your dedication is by choosing proper materials that will go hand in hand with your decorations. Keep in mind that not everything has to be made of wood, plastic, aluminum, metal or glass, so you can try to explore other options, too. Marble, polycarbonate, plywood, concrete, copper and lots of different textiles are the perfect materials for your 2017 home decoration.

One of the ways to incorporate various materials are accessories and small decorative items. Brass bathroom fittings, marble tables, bamboo pillows and concrete light fixtures are just some of the things you’ll be seeing a lot this year. Alternatively, you can just focus on separate rooms and decorate each one using a different set of materials.

Kitchen Decorations

Speaking of distinctive spaces, try finding a room that will be your passion project and receive the maximum of your attention. This room is going to become your pride and joy and grow into the focal point of your entire home. When searching for such a room, most people concentrate on the kitchen. Although they don’t spend the biggest portion of their day cooking here, everyone loves a comfy kitchen.

Redecorating a kitchen is hard, but not if you stick to a certain schedule. You need to paint the walls, pick the perfect tiles and find the best countertop material on the market – most people choose marble nowadays, but you can also opt for somewhat unusual choices, such as quartz, laminate, granite or even glass. Once you top it all off with a fine selection of reliable kitchen appliances, your kitchen will be as good as new! Remember that you need to find enough room for all the necessary appliances, utensils and homeware, so pick your decorations wisely and try not to overdo it.

Other Trends

Of course, these aren’t the only home décor trends you can explore this year. Some of the other things that might turn your old home into a new and exciting space are fluffy cushions, heavy drapes, small and functional seating options – tabourets, ottomans, armchairs and two-seater sofas are much more practical than oversized furniture that was popular just a year or two ago – and finally, don’t forget popular wall colors that will instantly make your home more enjoyable and comfortable.
